1. Offering and Availability of our Services

Our Services.We offer systems that enable you to pay parking fees (our 'parking payment systems') and other services related to parking and car use (the 'related services'). Our parking payment systems allow you to settle parking fees for specific on‐street or off‐street locations without the need to use cash. Instead, you register a parking action with our parking payment systems using the available methods and you will pay your parking fees through us. We will (periodically) charge you for your parking fees and any related service ordered by you. When offering you our parking payment systems we are facilitating the payment of parking fees on behalf of the operator of the specific on-street or off-street location and acting on behalf of that operator to conclude a parking action requested by you. For more details on the specific services we provide, please review https://www.myringgo.co.uk.

Availability. You acknowledge that the use and availability of our parking payment systems is highly dependent on the operation of ‐ for example ‐ your mobile device, the internet, your GPS receiver and other resources you can use to access our services. If you are unable to access and use our parking payment systems, for any reason, you, and not we, are required to use alternative payment methods to pay for parking or there may be a risk that you could be liable for additional parking fees and parking tickets.

In case of any difficulties, please contact our helpdesk at support@ringgo.co.uk

For the avoidance of doubt, we cannot ensure availability of our parking payment systems and related services. Neither can we ensure availability of a parking space.

Partners. Our parking payment systems and related services may be used in combination with services offered by our partners. Our partners will have their own terms of service and you will be required to accept their terms of service before use. We are not responsible for the service offered by our partners.

2. Access

You can access our parking payment systems and related services via one of the tools made available to you, including smartphone, personal web page, text messaging, interactive voice recognition (IVR) by telephone and mobile/in‐car applications. A description of our tools, including instructions how to use them, can be reviewed here https://www.myringgo.com/howitworks. Our tools are under continuous development and may be updated from time‐to‐time or discontinued. You must follow the tool instructions at all times and keep your tool up‐to‐date.

Registration. Access to our tools is limited to registered accounts and such registration is subject to our approval. You are responsible for keeping your account information confidential and should not share your account information with anyone. A registered account is for your personal use only. You need to identify and authenticate yourself by entering your user name or mobile phone number in combination with a password or PIN, or by using touch ID, whatever is applicable, before you can start using our services and perform parking actions and related payments through your registered account.

Where you use instant access, we will create an instant account based on the telephone number or payment information used for the relevant access to our parking payment systems. Instant access is provided at our discretion and may be refused.

Please take note of the following: You are responsible for providing us with correct account, registration and access details, which should be kept up‐to‐date continuously by you. This also means that where your telephone number is reassigned to another person who starts using our service with this number, then your account will be blocked until you provide us with your new telephone number. We are entitled to provide our services to the person registering with your previous telephone number.

Materials. We may provide you with a payment access card for parking enforcement purposes or for access to certain parking locations. This payment access card remains our property. If you lose it, we may charge you with a sum of £5. You are required to follow instructions for using the payment access card, as may be provided by us or the controller of a parking location (such as the relevant authorities).
